Why has Pep dropped O’Rieley of late, who's been a bit of a revelation for us, to shoehorn a player that I like but who has been abysmal since MD1 in Akanji? Gvardiol is so much better at CB than LB on top of that.

He’s looked a little careless defensively and Akanji is fit so he’ll certainly be forced in.
 
Hope Doku’s inclusion doesn’t move Marmoush from his best position on the left
 
Sad to see Kev on the bench but very happy to see Rodri beside him.

Also pleased that Nico is starting. Reckon he has a very bright future playing alongside our Ballon d’Or winner, with them alternately causing opposing defences to soil their shorts throughout the match with Yayaesque penetrating runs in to the box. Will give us a much more solid and dominant base, with Rodders not being run in to the ground by playing every midfield role himself. I think our other Nico could play alongside him, as well, when needed.

I am personally quite excited for next season.

Perhaps the only one on here who is!
 
Grealish not even on the bench has to be a big fuck off signal from Pep doesn’t it.

I was hoping we’d at least get to see a little farewell 10 mins or something.

Young, inexperienced, and tires earlier each game he plays, meaning mistakes are more likely, and we simply cannot afford those in our current position. His time will come, but imagine the effect of him now making a mistake that leads to our missing out on Champions League football. Guardiola is being understandably protective.

Why so many people think that Rodri and Nico will start together next season? I personally don´t think that will be the case.
